Spanish Grand Prix: F1 preview, times, predictions, stats - ESPN

Canada's thrilling race livened up the 2024 season, and Formula One heads to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for round 10.

Formula One first came to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in 1991 when the circuit was built for the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. It's also the home race for Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz, and one that drivers love, having spent many years of winter testing here.

Mercedes have called upon police to investigate the source of an anonymous email accusing the F1 team of trying to deliberately sabotage Lewis Hamilton's car.

Flavio Briatore will return to F1 as executive advisor for Alpine. Some team bosses have brushed off his controversial past with Crashgate in 2008.

Since 2026 regulations were revealed last time out in Montreal, the attention has been turned towards how these will affect F1 in the new era.

The FIA has adjusted the minimum age for F1, which paves the way for Mercedes junior driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli to make his debut before his 18th birthday later this summer.

Stay tuned for updates from ESPN reporters Nate Saunders and Laurence Edmondson across the weekend.
